Some Household Hints.

An easy Silver Cleaner. —One teaspoonful Goddard's plate powder, one tablespoonful ammonia, one large cupful of boiling water.

Soak a wet cloth (flannelette is best) in the mixture for an hour, hang it out to dry, then shake well. It is then ready for use. Use after each meal when drying the silver, as it is a great saver of time.

A few drops of methylated spirit on a cloth will clean and polish picture glasses and mirrors.

Before washing carpets remove any spots with an application of a paste made with Fuller's earth and water. Apply and leave for a few hours, then brush off. More than one application may be necessary. Wash with a good carpet soap.
